RE: Being Creative with Dali, Van Gogh, Escher, Kinkade and Johan Andersson (Mandelwerk) #mytop5artists
Excellent post, and the layout is great. Your post made me think of those artists I would choose. I love Thomas Kinkaid; but my art tastes run to Robert Bateman (nature), Tom Thompson (and the Group of Seven) (Canadian North landscapes), Alex Collville (Realism) and Emily Carr (Indigenous/abstract) ... all Canadian artists .... and last but certainly not least, Monet (my favourite).
Thank you very much =) Of course I know Monet, but the others I'll have to check out! ... Do you paint? I had a quick look at your blogfeed and I see you're a poet! =) ... I'll be sharing some of my poems in the near future. Followed you =)
And thank you - I appreciate the support and follow as well. (I'm already following you!) :) I used to do artwork - I specialized in pencil and charcoal but also oils and acrylics - I'm disabled and arthritis in my hands has made it impossible for me to hold a paintbrush now, but I can still type, so I can write! :)
The artists I mentioned are all Canadian (I'm from Canada), and my favourite of those is Robert Bateman, who lives on the BC coast. Before he became famous he taught art in Ontario, and was my grade 9 art teacher - a year I will never forget!
I'm very sorry to hear about your arthritis. I couldn't imagine if something similar would happen to me. Hmmm... This being the case, you might be interested in giving Mandelbulb 3D a try. All my art is done with it, and JWildFire, two fractal program. (with touch ups in Photoshop).
Thanks so much for your concern. I think I'll leave the artwork to you; you do a beautiful job with it. I'm a disabled senior now, with limited energy - so I believe I'll concentrate on the writing end of things at this stage in my life. I'll always have great memories of my art days - and will enjoy looking at yours and other artists now. :)
